This adds two more possible settings to the "First Keypress Enables Backlight Only" option (which is renamed to "Keypress effects when backlight is off").
Possible settings are now :
- "All: BL & action"
- "All: BL & no action"
- "Select: BL, others: action & BL"
- "Select: BL, Mode: action & BL, others: action"
(the strings are a little different for the H300, as i used the actual button names)

The titles hopefully speak for themselves... I tried to make it as clear as possible.
In the last choice, i felt it was necessary that the Mode button should turn the backlight on as well as perfirm its action, as it opens a menu.

Something else:
IMHO the handling of the NON LCD remote should be different
from the onew with LCD.
Keypresses at the NON-LCD remote should affect the backlight
of the main devices - at least when navigating in the
filebrowser (I dont want to see the backlight of the main
device going on when changing the volume...)

There seems to be a slight discrepancy here:
> "Select: BL, Mode: action &BL, others: action" - ???
> In the last choice, i felt it was necessary that the Mode button should turn the backlight on as well as perfirm its action, as it opens a menu.
> on the H300, Select = NAVI and Mode = A-B

If Mode=A-B, then Mode does not start the Menu. So for the H300 it should be:
A-B: only BL, NAVI: action&BL, others: only action no backlight

Great great great idea, I really want to have something like this. Please keep on pushing it!

With this patch in "Select: BL, Mode: action & BL, others: action" mode, a held action only key turns on the backlight, no matter what screen is being used. this is not entirely functional because the volume keys are often held in the wps, and directional keys are not always held in menus and the file tree. A possible remedy for this would be having the player respond as if "All: BL & action" was on when in the file tree and menus, and in the wps, have held action only buttons leave the backlight off. This might bloat the code to much, but if possible, this would perfect this patch in my eyes.

Hi Nicholas is there any way you could modilfy this patch to include another option for this back light setting. Now that the rockbox has been updated to have a function for the record button (it shows the playlist that is being played) could you add another option to - "Select: BL, Mode: action & BL, others: action" so that even record button does action & BL.

Hi Nicolas!
I include your patch in the my builds, and I also add the following small change to it that makes REC be treated like MENU, because I also include the rec-button patch (via the recordings enhancements pack).
